Yes, ti-cpufreq registers the cpufreq-dt platdev in order to ensure the
ti-cpufreq driver probes first and provides the necessary opp-supported-hw for
cpufreq-dt. This applies to am335x, am437x, dra7xx, and am57xx. I suppose these
platforms will need to be added to the 'blacklist' to prevent the cpufreq-dt
platdev from being created automatically, unless there is a better way to handle
this dependency...
